kiki felzinger - berlin bei nacht

Kristina (Kiki) Felzinger is a freelance visual artist living and working in Berlin. Starting from painting, she develops image spaces where bodies, language, and memory intertwine. Her large-scale canvases, drawing notations, and installation fragments revolve around the question of how violence, desire, shame, and resistance are inscribed in bodies — and how these inscriptions can become visible, negotiable, and collectively transformable.
A key focus of her practice lies in feminist, collective, and process-oriented working methods. In long-term projects—including, for example, within the framework of 'Poets to Tell the Story'—she develops artistic processes together with FLINTA persons, where personal narratives, bodily experiences, and resistance practices are central. Drawings, text fragments, performative elements, and painting are created not as finished works but as traces of an ongoing dialogue about vulnerability, care, and agency.
Felzinger's images are not decorative 'hanging paintings' but condensations of experiences. She works with exaggerated, fragmented bodies that move between intimacy and publicness, pleasure and threat, helplessness and self-empowerment. Time and again, she reflects the perspective of the viewers, shifts the focus onto desire marked as 'feminine,' and opens the scene to collective experiential spaces.
Her work has been exhibited in numerous group and solo shows, including at Kunstraum Bethanien, during 48 Stunden Neukölln, and in various independent Off-Spaces both domestically and abroad. In artist collectives, reading groups, and collaborative projects, she continuously seeks forms of solidaristic cooperation—as an artistic, political, and personal practice.
